I can't get TextWrangler to work as a comparison tool - what am I doing wrong?

I've followed your help advice for 'Compare local and remote files for differences' and I can't get it to work.
I have an iMac running OSX 10.7.2. I have Dreamweaver 5 and TextWrangler (3.5.3) installed in my Applications folder. In Dreamweaver, selected Edit - Preferences - File compare.
Then I've added the code: Macintosh HD:usr:bin:twdiff
However if I right click a local file and select 'Compare with Remote Server', I get a message saying 'There is no remote version of xxx to compare'
This is despite the fact that I am connected to the remote site and can see the matching version of the file in the remote section.
What am I doing wrong?

You may have installed your TextWrangler application without administrator privileges. In this you'll have to look for the twdiff file in the Local Applications Support Folder (refer to TextWrangler User Manual).
To fix your problem with Dreamweaver, while selecting your File Compare tool, try looking for the twdiff file in the following location :
Macintosh HD:usr:local:bin:twdiff
That should definitely work. It did for me
Cheers!

  • I can not get my ringtone back on my phone.  what am I doing wrong?

    I can not seem to get my ringtone to play.  I have been messing with this off and on for a month.  What am I doing wrong? It shows on my bill where I am paying for it but my phone is still playing the horrid classical music.

    It sounds like you are trying to activate your ringBACK tone - log on to your account, and go to Manage Ringback tones.  Is the tone you want to use actually there?  Set it as the default, and save or update the settings.  One other poster suggested setting as the default for each day of the week and that seemed to get things set up correctly for him/her.
    You can always call customer service (800) 922-0204, option 4 for Other, then say AGENT at the prompt to be connected to a live person as quickly as possible.  There may be something that needs to be reset on their end to get your ringback tone playing for your callers.

  • I can't get Firefox to even attempt to download. What am I doing wrong?

    When I try to download Firefox, nothing happens. Even when I click the "click here if screen doesn't pop up" and even after I "click here" nothing happens. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or/and why it doesn't work.

  • I can't get the plastic screen protector to stick. What am I doing wrong?

    I bought the accessory kit with my new iPhone 4S yesterday. It contains four clear plastic screen protectors. I tried to put one on following the very minimal instructions "Remove this mask before application completed," and "Remove this mask after application completed." When I remove the "second mask" it appears the protector did not stick to the phone but seems to still be part of the second mask I removed. Are the little red broken lines supposed to remain on the phone? Am I supposed to wet it or something?

    Maybe you did it opposite from the instructions? I'm not sure as I don't have the kit. I would check youtube for a video....it's a great resource for specific things like this. good luck!

  • I bught a new Time Capsule 2Tb. I connected it to my internet router. I manege to set it up as base station but when i try to use it with time machine I always get the message "Check your IP addres"? What am I doing wrong? On my computer I have OSX 10.7.5

    What IP address does the TC have and what IP does the computer have?
    We need more info as we really have no idea what your network looks like.
    Modem router, model, type of broadband?
    TC setup as bridge or router?
    Is the computer getting internet via the TC?
    Are you using wireless or ethernet?
    Have you set IPv6 correctly to local link in the computer on whichever network client is doing the connection?
    Did this work the first time for backup and has now failed? If so simply reboot the TC. It is a constant bug that the TC is lost to the network.

    I have a ipod that I cannot get find my iphone to recognize it?  What am I doing wrong?  I have it turned on in settings.

    Make sure you are signed into the iCloud ID you are using on the iPod when you attempt to locate it, and that it has a good wifi connection.  If these are correct and you are and it still says it's offline, turn Find My iPod off on it, then after a minute or so turn it back on.  Then see if you can locate it.

  • HT1343 On my 4 1/2 year old Macbook I could select multiple files  by highlighting a file and then moving cursor over a file lower in the list, and pressing shift-control-click. I can't do that in now with Mac Pro.  What am I doing wrong?

    ghlighting a file and then moving cursor over a file lower in the list, and pressing shift-control-click. I can't do that in now with Mac Pro.  What am I doing wrong?

    Holding down the control key will invoke "right-click."
    Depending on the View, holding down Shift will with either toggle the selection (Icon View), or it will make a continuous selection from the previous selection (List View or Column View).
    The only way to make a continuous selection in Icon View is to drag out a selection marquee around or through the icons.
    I can't remember the behavior of previous OS's.

  • I can receive but not send emails with my skynet account - what am I doing wrong ?

    I can receive but not send emails with my skynet account - what am I doing wrong ?
    I have no problems with my Yahoo account but I can not send emails with my skynet account.
    Actually in iPhone :
    Outgoing Mail Server > SMTP "relay.skynet.be"
    Primary server > Not Configured > Off
    Thank you ...

    When you set them up, did you set up both the incoming and outgoing email servers separately, and did you enter the correct SMTP server name, and enter your userid and password even though it says "optional"?
    Something else to try, if you haven't, is delete the accounts, connect the iPhone to iTunes, on the Info tab check the box to sync mail server settings, then sync. This should duplicate the settings from your computer to your iPhone.

    I have this problem too. I've always sent messages successfully via bcc to a group using a group email list in contacts. Now ... all of a sudden when I select the same group for bcc nothing happens! Cannot email my group now. Why not?

  • Hi, I requested an unlock from T-mobile UK 1.5M ago, and after a restore I got the message that my iphones carrier setttings were updated successfully, but never get the message that it's unlocked. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi everybody, I need help.
    I requested an unlock from T-mobile UK 1.5M ago, and after the restore I got the message that my iphones carrier setttings were updated successfully, but never get the message that it's unlocked. And it still doesn't support nay other SIM. What am I doing wrong? How do I get it unlocked?
    Thanks in advance for advice

    Did you restore the phone as a new device when you did the restore/unlock, or did you restore it from an existing backup?  I have found that when unlocking an iPhone on the AT&T network, you don't get the message that the unlock was successful if you don't restore as a new device.  The unlock still works, you just don't get the message. Perhaps it is not carrier specific for this behavior.

    Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

  • Can't get speakers to work after using ear buds what happened?

    I used ear buds once and now I can't get my internal speakers to work. In "system preferences" sound output I can't select internal speakers. it just has "digital out"

    No, but I thought I saw it at an earlier time and of course with the headphones connected I can hear audio. By the way, thanks for replying.

  • I can't drag Firefox icon from Applications folder to dock--what am I doing wrong?

    Trying to update Firefox. Followed easy-sounding directions on Firefox site (download, copy to Applications folder, drag icon to dock). BUT...I can't get the Firefox icon to "stick"in the doc. Hasn't updated Firefox.

    Firefox 3.0 versions and later require at least Mac OS X 10.4

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last release that runs on Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.3
